| If you work with
technical data, take a look at EasyPlot. It's powerful, yet fast and simple-to-use. |

| EasyPlot history EasyPlot was originally designed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Back in 1986, there wasn't much good scientific software for the PC. Mac users had Cricket Graph, but PC users had nothing equivalent. The Laboratory began a project to write an easy-to-use, technical graphing program for its researchers and engineers. After a year of prototyping and development, Laboratory staff began using EasyPlot. Over the next two years, they brought new features ideas to the author, Stuart Karon. Stuart incorporated their suggestions into EasyPlot and built a full-featured technical graphing program. In 1989, Stuart licensed his work from MIT and founded Spiral Software. His goal was to continue improving EasyPlot while making it available to researchers around the world. Stuart has done fairly well. Today's EasyPlot is laden with powerful new features, but it's still compact and very fast. Thousands of scientists around the world use EasyPlot and should continue using it for years to come. |
| Design philosophy EasyPlot's #1 goal is to show you a graph as quickly as possible. Upon startup, EasyPlot asks for something to plot: a data file, an equation, or a previously created graph. Choose, click OK, and a graph appears. The 2nd goal is to make viewing and analyzing data easy. Data occupies most of the EasyPlot window. Graphs are live, zoomable, and editable. Don't settle for a previewed graph in a page in a window in the application window. You'll be left asking "Where's the data?" The 3rd goal is to keep things simple. A few neatly laid-out dialogs control all key aspects of graphs. You won't find layers of complicated dialogs. Goal #4 is to keep things fast. Count how many clicks it takes to make a graph, first with EasyPlot and then with any other program -- each one is time. Try graphing really large data sets -- tens or hundreds of thousands of points. If it seems slow, let us know and we'll show you how to get EasyPlot's turbo chargers running. © 1999-2006 Spiral Software |
